Add-ons on Friday

Here in Belarus we have a row of holidays to relax and spend time in family circles. We have celebrated May Day, though some BelVG employees couldn’t make it without work and came to office as usually. Now we are looking forward to Victory Day and put even more efforts in development to deserve payoff. This week we have released two Prestashop modules, improving customer experience in your webstore, and Magento extension update.

Prestashop Pre-order and Waiting List enables pre-order and advance pay for unavailable products. Users may also subscribe to the waiting list to be notified when products appear in stock.

Prestashop Help Desk enhances user-admin interaction. Customers will be able to submit tickets, keep track of admin replies and view the history of communication with admin all in one place.

I guess everyone clearly understands the power of social media nowadays. People spend too much time looking through news feed and sharing their thoughts, ideas, and pictures. Once a customer finds some webstore he probably wants to get more information about it in various social networks just because he trusts them and knows he can find more feedback and reviews there. So now connection with those networks is obligatory and it’s a really effective way tell to people all around the world about your product.
